Evaluation and Forecast of Sustainable Utilization of Water Resources in Beijing by LI Congxin, XIANG Chunyu

“…Taking Beijing as the study area,this paper constructs an ecological footprint model and an ecological carrying capacity model of water resources in Beijing depending on the theory of ecological footprint of water resources.Further,it analyzes the changing trend and sustainability of water resources of the city.The grey prediction GM (1,1) model is used to predict the ecological footprint of per capita water resources in Beijing in the next three years.Reasonable suggestions are given according to the prediction results.The results indicate that the ecological footprint of water resources in Beijing shows a slow upward trend from 2000 to 2019,and the ecological footprint of water resources is much larger than the carrying capacity,which makes Beijing always in a state of ecological deficit.Moreover,the ecological pressure index of water resources is much greater than the critical value of 10,and the safety factor of water use is low.The ecological footprint of water resources of 10 000 yuan GDP presents a downward trend,indicating that the utilization rate of water resources in Beijing is increasing.The load index of water resources is quite large,which manifests that the potential for sustainable utilization of water resources is rather small and thus a large amount of water is needed to be transferred from other river basins.The forecast results show that the ecological footprint of per capita water resources in Beijing has a decreasing trend in the next three years.This is conducive to the sustainable development of water resources in Beijing and suggests that Beijing is in a good development trend.…”

Enrichment features, ecological risks assessment and quantitative sources appointment of sediment heavy metals: An example of the urbanized Xizhi River catchment, South China by Chao Yan, Qirui Wu, Rui Li, Zuobing Liang, Zaizhi Yang, Aiping Zhu, Lei Gao

“…Rapid industrialization is typically the primary cause for heavy metals [HMs: copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), and lead (Pb)] contamination in urbanized river basins. In this study, sediment cores were collected from the Xizhi River (XZR) of the Pearl River Delta, South China, and its tributary, the Danshui River (DSR), to analyze the total concentrations and geochemical fractions of these HMs and to assess their potential hazards to the river ecosystem. …”

Projecting Water Yield Amidst Rapid Urbanization: A Case Study of the Taihu Lake Basin by Rui Zhou, Yanan Zhou, Weiwei Zhu, Li Feng, Lumeng Liu

“…Taking the rapidly urbanizing Taihu Lake Basin (TLB) as an example, coupled with the PLUS-InVEST model, three scenarios of a natural development (ND) scenario, urban development (UD) scenario, and ecological protection (EP) scenario were set to simulate the response mechanisms of land use changes for WY and the influence of policy-making on the water conservation capacity of river basins. (1) During 2000 and 2020, the Taihu Lake Basin (TLB) experienced rapid urbanization, which was evident in the conversion of forest and cropland for urban development. (2) From 2000 to 2020, the TLB’s WY first decreased and then increased, ranging from 201.52 × 10⁸ m³ to 242.70 × 10⁸ m³. …”
